I really love this about EU pattern magazines in general.

They shortened the size chart back in Fall 2015? so to get the full set of measurements, it's best to download a chart online. In fact, I was flabbergasted to learn that Big4/US patterns had this happen. I personally have never found a Burda where the pattern pieces did not match up in size at the seam. Rarely, they will issue the same design as an envelope after it had appeared in the magazine. I really wish they would do this for the US site (which accepts my credit card!). On the DE and FR sites, at least, you can buy the envelope patterns as downloads.

So those 44s are not equal! I've read some criticism of the Plus size designs on PR but that's not my range so I don't really know if that's a fair judgement. Obviously, I am in favor of Burda and do recommend them often.ĭo note that the regular sizes 34-44 have a distinct block from the Plus 44-52. It's more a sewing order than anything, though Style Arc does it better. To me, it feels as though the translator is not done by a sewing-savvy professional. Two nights ago, I helped someone on PR figure out the facing instructions on a backless top. The instructions are minimal and somethings poorly worded. If Burda says close-fitting, it is a tight dress! If they say loose, it's a muumuu. I am used to figuring them out, I don't even pre-trace on the pattern sheet but I understand how others may not feel up to this chore. Like most EU pattern magazines, you have to trace them. Only two measurements had changed in that time span and by 0,5 cm only! Compared 4-5 Burda size charts from 1980 to 2009. I did a small survey back in 2009 that I had posted on Pattern Review at the time. I go by my actual body measurements and, other than my standard alterations (Petite, Narrow Shoulders, size down waist), they fit.
I love them for the constancy: what you see is what you get. Burda told me overalls/jumpsuits/dungarees were back at least a couple of years ago. Cousine Claire, the spinster seamstress of the family, Cousine Viviane, Tante Gisèle (who turned me onto Vogue patterns too!), Chantale, my mother's choir friend, so many women sewed Burda around me! I am a MASSIVE Burda fangirl #burda4life I was raised on Burda, tracing patterns for my mother.
